All the pyramids are essentially the same below ground in tourist access tunnels. I would recommend to visit this pyramid there are less steps to negotiate and visititation is far cheaper than a visit under the Great Pyramid

Everyone should see the pyramids. That being said, not everyone can. Those who are fortunate enough too are forever grateful. Khafre's Pyramid is a bit unique because at the top, you can still see some of the casing. It's heartbreaking to think that, had certain era's not 'reclaimed' the outer casings, the Pyramids may today look like they had originally.... More

Not the Great Pyramid, but still worth the effort to overcome the claustrophobia and check out the inside - interesting despite it's the plain interior - and who could resist crawling around in something so old that has not been reconstructed!!

The second pyramid or rather the pyramid for Cheop's son and built purposely smaller than his father's pyramid as a sign of respect for him. This pyramid is not open for visitors though, but a good sight still.

You can imaging the pyramids being covered in beautifully carved stone when you see the remains on top of Khafre. This pyramid is the second biggest, but looks bigger as it is more elevated.
